It’s no spoiler to say that it all very quickly goes downhill, as their helicopter falls out of the sky and Blake wakes up alone in the burning wreckage with only his camera and some spare batteries for company. Thus developer Red Barrels has shifted its night vision gaze to the dusty Arizona desert, where journalist Blake Langermann and his wife, Lynn, are investigating the murder of a pregnant woman.
Given that Outlast already has a follow-up of sorts in the shape of prequel Whistleblower, there was no need to go over the same ground again. I was so furious playing, that on one occasion I had to go and wash my face with cold water just for something to do that wasn’t removing my own eyes with a spoon. With this in mind, I’d like to be able to say that I’m not angry at Outlast 2, I’m just disappointed.
